Not sure who to tag in this, assuming anyone from CG ever actually reads/responds to genuine concerns, but:Wasn't CG's position always that "infinite loop" scenarios were bad for the game and NOT a "working as intended" situation at any point? Because it's clear from the new Set-4 DataCon modifiers that there IS going to be an infinite loop scenario, most notably for Darth Vader.Is CG going to rectify this? Or are we going to have 4-MONTHS of infinite loop issues?@CG_Tusken_Meathead

Im gonna do it for you: With Palp lead we would have piett, starck, mara jade, death trooper and tarkin with potential loops.As well as 3 inquisitorious So in a "normal" imperial team, only palp, vader, mara and tarkin could benefit from that, given that it probably wont be profitable to break two teams. And then they have to hit all debuffs actually Mara inflicts mass Tenacity Down, so yeah debuffs will stick

The "bonus turn" and "loop" Crons need to not exist.Seriously.Make the 'cooldown' cron like the one from Set-1. That was much more balanced.

Turns out "balance" doesn't make the whales empty their wallets ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Datacron Set-4 Infinite Loop, WAI?!?

Can't wait for my opponent to have this on Lord Vader, doing constant AOE daze/AB as well as normal Palp Vader infinite turns as the AI will always do the dots.
They really don't think of anything.. such a game breaking mechanic.

Remember kids... Loops in places like Conquest damage the integrity of the game and what the game mode requires.

Loops in PVP? That only screws over the playerbase, so that's fair game.

CG does not like infinite loops in the game, my guess is they did not test this enough. Likely to be changed.

Didn't CG specifically say they wouldn't bother nerfing any OP DCs because of their temporary nature?

yeah i think they said with datacrons if something is OP and broken they will just wait for the set to expire IIRC

Sounds about right. Also, makes sense. Why spend time on balancing something when you know it's gone in 4 months if you simply do nothing?

At what length of time would this no longer be your take? For me, it's much less than 4 months.
